Dasher was tough as nails though.
Scott did that? Now i’ve heard everything. Enough of the reach arounds.
It doesnt matter how much zac guthrie bulks up. No opponent or supporter will take him seriously until he changes up his hair cut. You are in your effing 20s zac. You look like a 8 year old whos mum has just given a trim with the clippers.
I had a read of the Tigers game day thread. Wow. Something seriously not right with the majority of supporters who post. Complaining about Hocking, Selwood, umpires... and that’s during the period they were winning
Weird, sadly defensive, ‘the whole world is out to get us’ supporters even though the team that they support are one of best teams of the modern era and are admired and highly respected.
I’m continually astonished that people think opposing supporters - particularly Richmond - are going to be pleasant towards us. They’ve waited a long long time. Basic supporter behaviour 101.
Surely both Adl and PA looked at Parfitt in his draft yr, considering he was under their noses at North Adelaide u18's.
You prefer the wookie look?
Hang on Spazz it's his 5th year not fourth and i agree he did not much wrong and now people say he has made it, was no break out game...Oh and who did Hitler play for?
Some observations-
- While can’t detract from Geelong’s excellent 2nd half, Tigers were unusually sloppy- heaps of dropped marks in dangerous positions. Dusty and some others are underdone or got injured mid game and they were missing a number of A graders. We are likely to face a much better, battle ready Tiger outfit in finals.
- Great output by the three recruits. Cameron’s mobility is magnificent. Smith’s running and smarts contributed to wearing down the Tigers. Would like little more contest from Higgins but also good.
- Close is a gun and he is going to get better.
- Sav had more impact than his stats suggest. His physicality and agility is unsettling. Blitz was huge. Nankervis won the HOs but was rattled
- was Stewart on Dusty? Tom won some crucial contests around Dusty at deep back and executed his trademark break aways. May not lose much drive if re plays that role in finals
- Zuthrie started badly but worked into it. One of his better games. MOC probably replaces when fit.
- Sam Simpson looked underdone pre injury but Narkle was very good, his entry into the middle really added to our momentum. Would like to see little more physicality/tackling but he may have a spot in best 22 at least until Dangerwood returns.
- Game plan last three quarters- better mix of direct attack rather than just control. Much easier with forward options of course.

He definitely wasn't.
Dasher could find the pill too, like Enright.
Accumulator back men are gold.
That's good. More focus on Melbourne and Richmond, and less focus on us. Keep chugging away banking wins getting our players primed for finals.According to the Footy Show, we didn't win on Friday night, Richmond lost it.

Pretty funny seeing the anti Scott brigade come out and pretend we completely changed game plan and did what they've been calling for. It was exactly how we played when we played well last year. Huge pressure in our forward half and precise kicking from defence using intelligent judgement of when to be conservative and when to bite off the kick that opens up the play.
That performance was also done with Zuthrie in the team, Clark in the VFL and Blicavs playing wing/ruck all of which are signs of Scott's utter incompetence apparently. Seemed to work ok though.
That win should give us real confidence and shows the way to beat the tigers. Absorb their pressure and then play our game being clean going the other way and we can open them up. In saying that though we shouldn't get too far ahead of ourselves. We could've been further behind early and a mix of bad Richmond errors and our great goalkicking meant we went past them fast. I'd be surprised if they crumble as badly next time but at least we know we have the ability to take their best punch and then turn the pressure back on them.

One year when we started really good Dasher was leading the league for disposals as a midfielder before the whole season went **** up.

Seems a common trend with Geelong matches
- We don't win, rather it's the opposition who lost
- We lose, well that was because of how well the opposition played to win the match

If you need to believe that in order to reinforce your prejudices, then feel free to do so.
He can't play forward.

It's called bleeding hearts. People are sick of us winning and proving them wrong.
My take on our win against Richmond: our rucks need to be turned over and managed. Neither Rat, nor Stanley are plodders like McEvoy. They are sprinters. Stanley's near BOG against West Coast and falling apart the next game is testament to that. Plodders can play every week, but not those two guys. NicNat's chequered career is the perfect example of how it can't be done with that type of player. Cameron is a revelation. His effect on the team play is even better than his own game, which is bloody good. He takes from no-one, and his addition helps others. Best recruit since Ottens by a country mile. Our attacking play frees up our forwards and gives them a chance. Years of watching our stodgy slow play with 200 opposition players jogging into our forward 50 and with Hawkins surrounded, and Blicavs with the ball on the wing spending 5 minutes to decide who to pass it to, are hopefully over. Also, is Shaun Higgins starting to get it together? Good news. Players like Parfitt, Guthrie playing great along with a rejuvenated Selwood.
On the negative, Blicavs good, but should NEVER travel beyond the backline. He has nowhere near the skill of Stanley, or the developing Rat. It is they who should be going the tap then runnning down. Zuthrie is a nothing burger. To not play terribly when we smash a side isn't much to go on. First player out.

He plays in the middle where he belongs and pinch hits up forward.
You only have to look at how hard Richmond went at us in the first quarter to know they bought their A game. That was a genuine result. That was a very good win for us. Enjoy being under-rated.
So Dangerfield smashing into Cameron repeatedly and Miers 80m away on the flank?
IMHO Danger should be nowhere near the forward line when he comes back.
